disheveled. But somehow the vision of him standing at her door with his hands balled into fists and his lips in almost a pout made Korrine think how deliciously sexy he looked.
Before she could take in Tony and all his glory, he stormed in, wrapped her in his arms, kicked the door shut, and pinned her against the wall, kissing her with a fierceness he had never shown her before. When he finally stopped kissing her lips, he started slowly kissing her cheeks and up to her forehead. She looked into his eyes, and there she saw a fire that was mixed with passion and what she thought could be anger. Was he angry at her?
“Are you all right, baby?” Tony asked Korrine while slowly releasing her from his strong arms.
“I’m fine, Tony. I promise,” Korrine answered with a weak smile.
“Then why in the fuck didn’t you call me, Korrine?” Tony replied in a calm voice that didn’t match his words or the anger he was feeling.
“Antonio Cameron, don’t you ever curse at me!” Korrine shouted.
Tony frowned, releasing her fully and starting to pace. “Korrine Taylor, I am not cursing at you, okay? I just want to know why you didn’t call me immediately after you found the note. This is serious. I…care…a lot about you, and for someone to threaten you and you not to tell me is unacceptable!”
Korrine reached out and grabbed Tony’s hand to keep him from pacing. She turned him toward her and cupped his face in her small hands. “Tony, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I just didn’t think it was urgent enough to interrupt your meeting. Besides B came by, and I wasn’t alone. The security guard was on duty, and Brandon and Brent talked me into calling the police. There isn’t anything anyone can do. There wasn’t a ‘real threat’ as the cop put it, and nobody saw anything. So I just have to be more alert. That’s all.”
“I get that, Korrine. But there is nothing more important than your safety. If you don’t call me, how am I supposed to protect you from this psycho?” Tony asked frustrated.
“Tony, it was just a note,” Korrine stated, growing exasperated.
“I don’t see it as just a note, Korrine. I don’t want you walking from your building at night by yourself anymore, no matter what!” Tony said with finality.
Korrine knew this “discussion” could go on all night, so she just agreed not to walk alone anymore when it got too late. She understood everyone’s concern, and she wouldn’t put herself in unnecessary, harmful situations. She just couldn’t figure out who this person was and what they wanted from her. She had never been in a situation like this before. Why would someone do this?
Chapter 9
Korrine
It had been a couple of days since the “note incident,” and Korrine was starting to feel a bit on edge. Tony was there for her though, making sure he was there when she was ready to leave her studio or making sure Brandon or the security guard was there when he couldn’t be. Nothing unusual had happened—no more notes, and no suspicious people hanging around. Steve had been a bit standoffish though. When Korrine told him about the note, he didn’t really have the reaction she expected. He hardly seemed concerned. But he did later apologize, saying he had a lot on his plate at the moment and his mind was elsewhere. Steve did ask her if she needed to be escorted to her car, and she told him that Tony was handling that. Steve frowned and asked her if she was serious about this Tony guy. Korrine didn’t feel comfortable talking to Steve about her relationship with Tony, so she smoothly changed the subject to something not so personal. Since that day, Steve hadn’t been around much.
Korrine began to wonder if the note wasn’t some bad joke, or maybe it had been put on her car by mistake. It wasn’t addressed to her specifically, and she did have an ordinary car. It could’ve easily been a mistake. Korrine began to relax and forget about the note until
